Testimonials

Dear Pam,
Thank you so much for presenting Customer Service and Beyond at the Buyers Market of American Crafts. The attendees gave you very good reviews and many who attended other tables put yours down as one they wish they could have attended. One of my employees attended your table and was very excited about many of the ideas that were discussed. She is going to present many of them to the other employees here. I think that Customer Service is the best thing we have to offer, and a creative approach is always welcome. Thank you.

Again, thanks.

Best regards, Alison Brooks C.R.A.F.T.

Pam,
I had a show last weekend and I put the things you had mentioned to use. Bruce Baker's CDs helped a lot too in designing my booth and tips on making a sale. I did better this one weekend than any of the 3-week Puyallup fairs I have done in 4 years.

Thank you so much for the tips you gave. It has given me the confidence to try to do more shows.

What students are saying..

From students of the
"Business of Crafts" class

Words cannot express how much your class has inspired me and changed my life – by allowing me to believe that an artistic livelihood is possible, then sharing the practical steps to follow… Your class is what the essence of education should be – a life-changing springboard to explore the limits of one’s potential.

~Pete Farr

The class was comprehensive – so much in 8 short weeks! Pam, you are so organized & thorough & gave us so many resources. I feel like we have a “leg up” into the world of business. The mentor idea is genious! Thank you for a truly invaluable experience.

~Carol Rainwood

Pam is a fantastic teacher. I hope you get as much from this class as I did. The experience will stay with you always.

~Susan Hartman

You will love this class! It’s organized, interesting and very valuable!

~Julia Steiner

Pam, you are an outstanding teacher. Very organized & comprehensive… you are a high caliber instructor with an excellent approach.

~Jim Rainwood

Signing up for the class was one of the best gifts I have ever given myself. I not only have resources I didn't even know were out there, I have a better focus of what I really want to do, and how to achieve it. The energy was fantastic- so many ideas for my business. I finally feel centered and on my way!

From students of the
"Crafts As a Business" weekend workshop

Thank you so much for all the time and energy you put into this workshop. I came away feeling jazzed and empowered.

~Connie Kelley, Tutibella

You guys were awesome! There was so much information to learn, and you really packed it in. I came away with all my questions answered, and a more thorough picture of wholesale/retail processes. You should name your class "All you wanted to know about selling your art/craft, but didn't know who to ask". I would do it all again in a heartbeat. It is the most pro-active thing that I've done to grow my business since I started it five years ago. Thank you!

I learned so much from the class. I walked away inspired and ready to strategize and work.

~Angie Heinrich, Zetamari Mosaic Artworks

This class filled me with new hope, direction and resources. I really appreciate the one on one times with the different gallery owners/artists. Before I took this class I was really struggling with what to do with my abundant inventory of paintings. Now I can see that there are so many different things that I can do!

~Kari Young

Thank you so much for everything! You have been so generous in sharing information and networking! Your enthusiasm for sharing information is heartwarming.

~Michele Fokos

I just found out that I have been accepted into the ACC Baltimore wholesale show! I could not have gotten this far without taking your class.
